The same hackers out of Saudi Arabia that took down this site and many others who use Hosting Matters were at it again, shutting this site down for about an hour. It’s actually quite remarkable HM can fix the problem as fast as they have, which is the primary reason why I use HM; they fix any error very quickly.

Much like the DDoS attack this morning, I didn’t even know until it was over. It is the Stanley Cup playoffs you know.  On a positive note, at least the spammers couldn’t get their crap out too.  For the past week, this site has received an average of 600 spam comments per day, and only one has made it past my spam blockers.  Idiots.  All of them!
